So, in the
final epic battle, Val, Lucas, Rachel, and Jack must face the Fae and
werewolves. The automatic question that
the readers have is, will they survive?
And honestly, I couldn’ t tell you until the very last page if anyone
was going to make it.

Characters

Viriginia
is such a bitch! At first I felt so
sorry for Virginia (see 2nd book’s review), but now I hate her. Though, I will say that Virginia and Valerie
have a lot in common. It is what they do
with what made them that makes the difference.

Val
learns so much in this book about herself.
She learns about how strong she is and that she doesn’t need to trust in
or rely on others to make her life what it needs to be or to make it what she
wants it to be.

It
was wonderful to learn more about Lucas, specifically about Margret. The story of Margret and her final moments
was heartbreaking, but it was also so beautiful. It shows a side of Lucas that we hadn’t
gotten to see yet, and it makes him all the more human. Honestly, Lucas is much more complicated a
character than he originally appeared in the first 2 books, and I really liked
that.

Everything I didn’t like

It breaks
my heart that Virginia and Cer used Val’s body as they wanted. Even without Val knowing it, it was a
violation. And it truly bothered me.

Everything else I liked

The
fantasy world where Lucas and Val cement their love for each other was a big
spot of sunshine in an emotional hurricane that was this novel. I wish they could have stayed there longer.

I
really liked the Princess Bride reference in regard to Jack. It was a wonderfully light-hearted thing in
the midst of this dark novel.

Why
in the world does everything come back to Marion? I mean, she is the reason that Jack and Val
come together. It is the reason that
Lucas wants to bring the Fae back. There
are so many reasons. But it still all
comes back to Marion.

Personally,
I think the conclusion of the novel was perfect. We see a conclusion for Val & Lucas, but
the questions that the readers still might have are asked… and somewhat
answered. I kind of like that.

Overall,
I did enjoy this book for the fact that the characters that I liked, I began to
love and the characters that I despised, I began to like. This is a good book, with a good conclusion
to the series. I definitely recommend this
book.
